Jonah 1:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ He answered, “I’m a Hebrew. I worship the Lord. He is the God of heaven. He made the sea and the dry land.”

¹⁰ They found out he was running away from the Lord. That’s because he had told them. Then they became terrified. So they asked him, “How could you do a thing like that?”

¹¹ The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, “What should we do to you to make the sea calm down?”
